Chapter 1063
The Woman From Hell
She nodded. "A lady once lived with me and moved out after she started dating. It's just me now."
She poured me a glass of water after saying that.
After pouring me a glass of water, she sat o n the sofa and handed me the glass while saying a little
cheekily, "Want to move in with me and share the rent?â
I thought about it and said, "I can, but can you at least tidy up the house? Iâll collapse i f I live in this
messy environment for a long time."
Shannon chuckled and assured me. "If you move in. I'll certainly not let the living
room get so messy."
"It's just that I'm never in the mood to clean up now that I'm living alone. If itâs too clean, then itâll
seem too empty and alone. I t doesn't feel like home anymore.â
I pursed my lips and did not say anything else.
Shannon and her parents were not on good terms. She would rather rent a place outside than live
at home. I understood that.
Looking at her leg, I asked with concern," How's your injury?â
She waved her hand. "I was wearing high heels when I fought with Dazaray and accidentally twisted
my ankle. It's nothing serious. I'll recover in a few days.â
I nodded. "That's great to hear." "What would you like to eat later?â Shannon asked with a smile.
"Anything is fine."
"The doorbell rang, and Shannon got up to open the door.
It was a middle-aged woman. She said, "I'm here to clean your house, Ms. Collins.â
She nodded and gestured for the woman to come in.
The woman was unaffected by the mess in the house and started moving nimbly to clean up the
house.
Shannon sat on the sofa and looked at me with a smile, saying, "You have to list out at least one."
After realizing what she was saying, I helplessly said, "What about hotpot? I haven't had it for a long
time and crave it."
Shannonâs eyes lit up. "Hotpot it is."
It seemed like she wanted to eat it too.
Shannon then returned to the bedroom. Maybe she knew that I still needed to go back to work in
the afternoon, so she did not dawdle and quickly tidied up before we went out together.
There was a mall nearby. Shannon mentioned that one of the hotpot restaurants was pretty good,
so we went there.
After entering the restaurant, we found a table and sat down. Both Shannon and I placed our
orders.
After ordering, Shannon's gossiping mode was activated.
She looked at me and grinned, saying," Wanda, why don't you tell me the story of
you and Theo's love-hate relationship?"
I was a little speechless and perfunctorily said, "Theo and I never met each other before we got
married. It was all his grandmotherâs arrangement, so there's nothing to talk about."
"Is that so?" Shannon propped up her chin and asked thoughtfully, "Are you going back to Whaldorf
City soon?"
I mulled it over and sensed what Shannon was really concerned about. I smiled involuntarily. "You
can come straight to me if you want to know Jordan's whereabouts. I'll tell you if I know."
Seeing that her intentions were exposed, Shannon asked a little awkwardly, "When i s he going to
Whaldorf City?" 'Maybe after the project is finished. I guess I'll be going too. If you have nothing to
do, then you can tag along."
"Can I?" she asked a little excitedly.
I nodded. "Of course. But you'll have to pay for your own flight ticket."
"Of course.â She propped up her chin and let out a pitiful smile.
The waitress came over to fill our glass. I could not help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
